@bricabrac85 Yep. We went right into "AW" with Randy sitting in on guitar. I think we did six or so tunes on that show, but "Break It..." looks like the only one that's survived.

@opticians01 he's doing a US tour, it begins next month I believe :)

@resaem1 Burton says that he wrote this song after watching an episode of Kojak - in this episode there's a young man who witnesses a crime and can't go home or he'll endanger his family. After watching that episode, Burton wrote this song imagining what one would say to his family if he could never see them again.

Huge Fan! But, what exactly is this song about?? He talks about getting in too deep with stangers, but I still don't exactly get it.

Thanks for posting this. It is "The Midnight Special" from May, '78. I'm drumming--my first gig with BC. Also: Jack Daniels, guitar; Jimmy Phillips, keys; Ian Gardiner, bass; Henry Small, backing vocals.

So raw and beautiful



Thanks for the positive feedback. I hope to add more soon.
